1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionSeven new 4-[2-(dichloromethyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine derivatives were investigated for anticancer activity, possible molecular mechanisms of anticancer action, and ADMET properties.

methodsThe 4-benzenesulfonamide derivatives of pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine were synthesized using the condensation of N-(2,2-dichloro-1-cyanovinyl)-amides IV with 1H-pyrazol-5-amine. Compound antitumor activities were evaluated using the NCI-60 human cancer cell line. AutoDockTools and AutoDock Vina software were used for molecular modeling. Using the ADMETlab 3.0 and pkCSM web sources, the ADMET properties of compounds 4, 5, and 7 were calculated.

resultsSeven new pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine derivatives were synthesized. The compounds 4, 5, and 7 exhibit high activity >1 μM against leukemia, colon, and renal cancer. Compound 4 exhibited the most potent activity, with IC50 values of 0.32 μM against leukemia, 0.49-0.89 μM against colon cancer, and 0.92 μM against renal cancer. Molecular modeling has demonstrated a potential antitumor mechanism involving CDK. The predicted ADMET profile of compounds 4, 5, and 7 is favorable. DISCUSSION: The seven novel pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazines, as purine bioisosteres, were developed, synthesized, and investigated by in vitro and in silico methods.

conclusionSeven novel pyrazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine derivatives exhibited anticancer activity against the NCI-60 cancer cell lines. The compounds 4, 5, and 7 demonstrated strong anticancer activity, with growth inhibition (GI) values exceeding 50% across all nine cancer types tested. The most active compound, 4, is against leukemia, colon cancer, renal cancer, and lung cancer. All compounds exhibit low toxicity, with LC50 values of 100 μM or greater. The molecular docking of compounds 4, 5, and 7 revealed the potential to inhibit cancer-associated cyclin-dependent kinases. The predicted ADMET profiles of their compounds are favorable, providing a basis for further improvement of their anticancer activity.
